Spin Properties of Electrons in the Semiconductor Gallium Arsenide (GaAs)
Dr. John Colton, Department of Physics & Astronomy Proposed Research The proposed project was to study spin properties of electrons in the semiconductor gallium arsenide (GaAs). Four specific experiments were discussed: Optically-detected magnetic resonance of single quantum dots Parallel picosecond single qubit operations Optically-detected magnetic resonance of spin-LEDs Universal scheme for optically-detected spin flip lifetime […]
Down Syndrome Pathway Analysis
Dr. Mark Clement, Department of Computer Science Many of the most serious medical problems that plague humanity are caused by problems in the genetic regulatory network. Heart disease, cancer and many other maladies could be cured if we understood how genes interact with each other in order to produce different symptoms. Many of these problems […]
A Novel Nuclear Variant of nBMP-2: Role in Ca2+ Transport
Dr. Laura Bridgewater, Department of Microbiology & Molecular Biology The goal of this project was to elucidate the role that nBMP-2 plays in Ca2+ transport. In the previous year, we demonstrated that mice that have no nBMP-2 in the nuclei of their cells exhibit delays in the transport of Ca2+ back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum […]
